Retrieve software version for HP 1810 switch

[Mattias Söderholm]

I have been looking in the code what's getting the software version for switches and found that you take it from the System Description.

Here is a sysDesc from a HP 1810-8G switch:
OID sysDescr
1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 "HP 1810-8G, PL.2.04, eCos-3.0, 1_12_8-customized-h"

PL.2.04 is the software version.

Does this not correspond to SEMI-MIB::hpHttpMgVersion ?

It's from the SNMPv2-MIB::sysDesc I was thinking, but you can use that one directly also.

[Morten Brekkevold (mbrekkevold)]

Well, actually, there is already a framework in place in the code for "guessing" software versions from sysDescr, while there are none in place for retrieving them from a set of proprietary MIBs.

I.e. the simplest solution is to add a regular expression in the ipdevpoll `system` plugin to match and set this software version. I've opted for something that matches ' [A-Z]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+'.
